Please make this a series or please explain about color correction and color grading and more about contrasting Whenever i try those my scenes become monochromatic
Bro now I want a whole series on compositing. Thanks Grant, it was super helpful. I've been using blender for quite sometime and never got to use compositor
I've slowly been learning the compositor from various channels and even had to look at film channels who use other software to learn color grading stuff. There really is a dearth of information about color grading with blender. I would definitely like to see not just the technical execution, but also like guidelines, tips and further reading/watching resources on color grading to make things look awesome. Awesome tutorial Grant I learned a lot. Especially the different Passes which I didn't quite notice till you brought it up!
That's just perfect. I was looking for such a video 2 days ago but couldn't find one that did the job. And then you casually come around and do your magic as always.
What's most needed. A well explained video for the shaders. The mathematical part behind the nodes ain't that difficult, but sometimes the lower patience can lead you to... "post modernistical arts". XD Respect for your work sir!
You read my mind, this is exactly what I was looking for. Gloom in cycles and more intense shadows. Also a very concise and nice duration of the video, I choose this one because the other were over 40 min (perfectly explained in this time though). I had never used the compositor before, seemed intimidating, but now I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks!
There are several TH-cam videos on animation in Blender. I don't mean to answer for Grant. But your question has a complex answer and self service might get you a better answer. Here's a good starter link for Blender:: Noob to Pro [en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro]... Bests...
Again not trying to answer for Grant, but he has you covered with this beginniners series: th-cam.com/video/zp6kCe5Kmf4/w-d-xo.html I created this simple rigged animation from following the steps and adding a few personal touches: th-cam.com/video/jpqI6ptPxhU/w-d-xo.html
That's a pretty powerful compositor. Have worked with Flame in the past. I need to get to this once I get a grip of so much in Blender! Thanks for the video
Sometimes the best tutorials are the simplest... love this!! Really nice to just stop and say,,where do you think the glare node will go best.. making us think rather than always telling us...thats proper teaching....making us think ;p
I just use Pixlr which is nice web photo editor, but i learned more about nodes and about the blender compositor, great tutorial idk if i'll use this or external apps.
Hi Grant, thank you so much for the video! I may have a non sense question, but, can we see the render view on the compositing tab, without exporting the image/animation? Thanks for the content anyway, fantastic as always!
The manu that ussually shows up in the bottom left corner (when you create an object or bevel, etc), is not showing up at all anymore, how do I get it back?
ive been having some difficulty learning compositing/masking/vfx etc and would love to open this up to anyone else who has some suggestions, specifically with good practice techniques and/or resources.
Im trying to render with compositor the animation but it shows nothing, only if im rendering a simple image wtf ?? Anybody answer? I mean, it renders the animation, but wihtout any nod settings...terrible...
Awesome thanks Grant. Quick question though, then to render (if it's an animation) is that done as usual or is that done somewhere from the compositing tab so as to include the render node setup?
Hey, I need to know when uploading the video to TH-cam, why the video resolution is excellent and the video size is very small. Please, I want to know how that is
@@grabbitt It isn't a hard scene to recreate, but I figured if it was available I may as well check it out. No worries. Excellent stuff. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Sorry if I'm asking you loads of silly questions. I'm studying art, but I need to make a living, have you got any advice on careers in art? You're the only person I've ever met who has successfully made themselves a career. Hope you enjoy today!? xxx Jess
hey your compositor works so smooth , on my system when ever I try to denoise/ add glare it take 30-60 sec to update the image in the backdrop .Do you why it happens ? ,my spec: msi 1080 6gb ram : 16 gb, i7
So what about non-renders in the compositor? For instance you want to greenscreen or anything else for that matter (composite your render into a video, etc)
I've got a question Grant, when I do Ctrl+Shift+RMB drag on the nodes, instead of adding a mixer it tries connecting one node to the other. Any ideas why that might be the case? I'm stumped.
@@grabbitt I looked through your play lists and you really have managed to create really useful content, well done! Before I found your courses - I was really struggling to learn, I was taking random , digital art/art software tutorials, which wasn't helping me get the skills I need. It's funny, I found your tutorials by scouring the Internet, but you only live 20 minutes away from me, in the real world, LOLXXX Jess
Excellent intro to the compositor! I have a technical question: Does the compositor works 100% with the rendered image? Or does it take data from the original meshes in the 3d world? If it's 100% with the rendered, it blows my mind the amazing work it does.
When rendering, your application is creating several different layer passes that you've specified in the render options (for example, the AO layer like you mentioned or just the emission layer ) and then once it's rendered all of the layers individually, it combines them for a single output just like the compositor is showing you here! For some applications, you may want to export just the emission layer or normal layers etc on their own and there are absolutely ways to do that in blender as well.
I probably would switch glare and AO order. First darken shadows and then add glow, so that glow wouldn't be darkened. Otherwise nice simple and useful tutorial.
Thank you so much for this, Grant! I have struggled with the Blender compositor forever and this video is a godsend. Could you also kindly do a tutorial on the mist pass? Do I need to add fog to my scene first in order to manipulate it or can the compositor help fake it for me? Please also talk about Cryptomattes as well.
You're my fav blender youtuber at this point, Grant
Please make this a series or please explain about color correction and color grading and more about contrasting
Whenever i try those my scenes become monochromatic
@Grant Abbitt And lighting

Mr grant i would like to thank you for every video you uploading
The first compositing tutorial I saw was 1 and a half hours, and I was lost. Then in 14 minutes, Grant explains all the basics and saves me :D.
That's just perfect. I was looking for such a video 2 days ago but couldn't find one that did the job. And then you casually come around and do your magic as always.
Thank you Grant for a great tutorial. The compositor has always been a bit of a mystery to me...until now.
Thank you Grant! It's just another universe and helped me to get more satisfied with my renders. Please make a series.
0:37 lol already answered my biggest question that no one else seemed to talk about. now I know I absolutely have to learn the compositer stuff
The little nuances matter. Thank you.
I love how much you can push the Evee results with the compositor
This render looks great
was too afraid to touch the compositing tab, this is awesome grant
The power or rendering passes. Thanks for this Grant!
I'm new to Blender. I've watched a lot of tutorial videos and I've never heard about Compositer. This is very informative.
Awesome as always
Thanks Grant. I'm learning a lot from you, you are making the diference
Thanks Grant, Clear and precise instructions as per usual. Thanks for all your work

Excellent! More compositor tutorials please. Cheers.
That was excellent man! Thanks for that. Simple and straight to the point.
Brilliant! Thanks so much!
Fantastic Tutorial. It really changed the way I do thing's and the 1440 resolution was much appreciated since I watched full screen... Be well
Great info as always! Thanks for showing us how some simple compositing can make a world of difference!
A series on compositing would be great.
Very good tutorial
thumbnail made me click!
It's really amazing what can be done with a few simple shapes, some good lighting, and some knowledge on render settings.
Thank you for the great introduction 👍
thanks grant! compositor is something I am pretty ignorant of, great to learn about it from you
That's very helpful. That's exactly why I want to use Blender. Thank you, Grant.
What a Render😍😍💥
I needed this!

🔥 🔥
Brilliant as usual, Grant . Thanks a lot
Superb introduction! Thanks!
Grant, how would you tackle getting the glow into the reflections?
I don't think there is a way to do that properly but use the good output and add glow to that
This might be the push I need to get out of my Eevee comfort zone.
thank u this was so comprehensive
Thanks you
tyvm, straight forward.
nice
Thank u 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Excellent video
So helpful! Thank you so much

THX!
can we get to know more about compositor ??
This was Great!
Can we see more?
Hi Grant, thank you so much for the video! I may have a non sense question, but, can we see the render view on the compositing tab, without exporting the image/animation? Thanks for the content anyway, fantastic as always!
Not sure exactly what you mean
The manu that ussually shows up in the bottom left corner (when you create an object or bevel, etc), is not showing up at all anymore, how do I get it back?
It only appears when you first do the command
@@grabbitt it isnt showing up at all
Great vid Grant. Rey few people realise how composing is a huge part of a artists toolkit. Great intro
ive been having some difficulty learning compositing/masking/vfx etc and would love to open this up to anyone else who has some suggestions, specifically with good practice techniques and/or resources.
Yes, do more. Was good.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
This is great! Thank you!
Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing Grant!
Great Tutorial. Can you tell me how to save the composited. image
Image save as in the render view
Do you know any channels that you can recommend that focus on photorealistic objects and still life?
Not sure actually
Subscribed!
Im trying to render with compositor the animation but it shows nothing, only if im rendering a simple image wtf ?? Anybody answer? I mean, it renders the animation, but wihtout any nod settings...terrible...
I'm at the glare node part and I tried the node before & after the denoise one and didn't see a difference.
if you have lights in your scene they should be effected
Awesome thanks Grant. Quick question though, then to render (if it's an animation) is that done as usual or is that done somewhere from the compositing tab so as to include the render node setup?
You need the output node
Hey, I need to know when uploading the video to TH-cam, why the video resolution is excellent and the video size is very small. Please, I want to know how that is
When u first upload, it sets the resolution small for about 30 mins
@@grabbitt I have a TH-cam channel and I can't upload the video in this way
@@grabbitt Is it from TH-cam or from editing program
@@abdulrahmanmohamad1185 I'm not sure I'm afraid
Why does the intro animation seem to jerk around in regular increments? - might not be Blender, could be your video editor or even YT.
Might be TH-cam that one not noticed it my end
Question: Wouldn't the glow show in the reflection as well?
No
@@grabbitt How do you make them show in the reflection? Are you covering them in a later tutorial?
@@FesNaqvi use the glare on the gloss as well
Unfortunately the project file you have linked in the description is not the same one in the tutorial.
I haven't link a project in the description
My mistake that link was not meant to be there

when i want to re-render my image it says that is no camera in my ''scene'' what should i do?
Shift a - add camera

Nodes for Noobs lol😂
Small tip: you can ctrl+shift click over any output you want to view it rather than clicking on the node to go through every output.
If you have node wrangler ie
You need to turn on node wrangler to be able to do that though
Thanks for the video! Is there a way to apply the glare also to the emitting objects mirrored in the sphere?
Easiest tutorial for composition. Thanks mate. Can’t wait to try it out.
